Week 4 Assignment  

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY

This week you will focus on reading your sources, extracting “nuggets of information” from them to assemble into a working outline, and creating an annotated bibliography.  To prepare, I recommend the following steps:

Read through the writing assignment and the following student sample annotated bibliographies:

Learn more about what annotated bibliographies are and how they are formatting by posting to the Week 4 Live Lesson discussion

To start summarizing your sources and determining how you will use them in your problem-solution essay, download Annotated Bibliography TemplatePreview the document (hyperlinked here or in the Week 3 - 7 folder / Week 4 subfolder under the FILES Tab). Save the file as Your Last Name Annotated Bibliography.

Your annotated bibliography will include an introduction, the reference citations for the sources you gathered in Week 3, and an annotation for each source (summary + evaluation). The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to determine the appropriateness of the sources to the argument you are developing for your course project.

The format of an annotated bibliography is an introductory paragraph followed by an alphabetized list of sources with two paragraphs of annotation after each source (approximately 100 - 200 words). The first paragraph gives a brief summary of the source and the second paragraph explains why the source is helping to your project.

Remember that you must have at least five (5) sources; at least two (2) must be from library databases.

To create your annotated bibliography, you must first create a reference list in APA 7. For advice about how to format your reference list entries, please see the following slide decks (hyperlinked here or available in the APA File folder under the FILES tab):

First, gather the APA citations you downloaded for your library sources in your Week 3 research log. Using the appropriate APA 7 Reference List Entries slide deck “formulas,” proofread the citations carefully for accuracy.

Then, create the entries for your internet sources in your Week 3 research log. You may create them by hand or generate them with a citation generator.  Once generated, proofread them carefully.

Alphabetize your sources and add your annotations.

Complete the annotated bibliography and submit it by Sunday at midnight Mountain Time.
